Thank you, Platonides! I like your ideas, but I couldn't fully understand. Actually, http://myhostname/documentation/ is my MW root. The whole MW is only used for documentation for Mysoft version 1 right now. When Mysoft version 2 is available, I want to make the entire contents of current MW to be a different URL/copy (something like http://myhostname/Mysoft-v1), and keep http://myhostname/documentation%C2%A0as the work space for Mysoft version 2. And so forth. Note, http://myhostname/Mysoft-v1 is not static, which means people can still work on it. I don't want to create multiple MW sites under http://myhostname/. Instead, http://myhostname/documentation/ is the only MW I want to let people work on. Is it still Okay to take advantage of your ideas? Thanks again, Ross

At [[documentation]] place #REDIRECT [[Mysoft-v1]] to magically send to page Mysoft-v1 when people visit documentation, or {{Mysoft-v1}} to silently place there its content. When version 2 is out, you change the Mysoft-v1 to Mysoft-v2.
No need to create a different wiki for each software version (as Daniel Hoyte suggests), but remember that wikis in the web root are evil.
